Copé elected by a 98 votes margin.

Let's go for 4 years of poor quality political debate...

French politics has gone from hopeful to extremely depressing in such a short time.

Why? Copé is indeed a horrible and disgusting human being from almost all points of view, and Hollande is way better than he is; but let's not get distracted from the fact that Hollande is still an incompetent doofus who is quickly turning out to be a totally useless guy who's in way over his head and whose policies are not any different from that of Sarkozy.

I endorse a big blob of sour cream (or, alternatively, McKayla Maroney) for 2017, which is, as far as I'm concerned, way better than anything else currently on offer.

See the map on my blog

Copé, I can accept him (well, I need some time, though Tongue and I'm pretty convinced he will be a bad candidate): it's all the bad and the ugly people around him that I HATE...

Absolutely disheartening news. Let's brace ourselves, because I'm pretty sure the political discourse in France will start to physically hurt, soon. By 2016, I'll probably be praying for Sarkozy's return.



Because some people understand that politics are about picking the lesser evil even when the lesser evil sucks. Wink

Where were all those hopes, Flanby? Already I know that is neither not serious at all nor founded, but I don't like Copé's face in the photos. Unlike Fillon, he's not capable of looking like a reliable or amicable person. Wake up, Hollande, for God's sake.

He kinda resembles Jörg Haider a little.

Because a US Republican can sure be proud of his party right now.

Sarkozy won't be back. French journalists love these kinds of hypotheticals, but that just won't happen.

(and no, that's not wishful thinking, because Copé is actually an even more despicable individual than Sarkozy)

To be fair, they have both been steadily laughable for some time now...

Fillon's camp claims that 3 federations were "forgotten".

If it's true, Copé is really disgusting.

The Fillonistas have somehow realized that everybody forgot about the feds overseas (Wallis, NC, Mayotte) and that with their votes, Fillon won by 26 votes. The Cocoe, which seems about as legit as the Russian election commission, has said that it did forget about them but it's too late now and Jeff is telling the Fillonistas to shut up.

lol

This is like the Iowa Primary, only more important and proportionally worse.

Fillon threatens to take legal action.

It's not a political party, it's a circus.

I hope this leads to the party splitting. Maybe a return to the old UDF-RPR alliance days that I grew up with. Cheesy

Could the courts resolve this? Or like the US, would they say "not up to us."?
